HAS HUMAN HARMED THE EARTH OR MADE IT A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN

We live in a world where human has a major role in balancing the live cycle. Some people think we failed. They think the Earth is more and more endangered. Others believe that human activities make their lives better than ever before.

The first aspect to point out is that due to science and technology we now enjoy living conditions that our ancestors could never dreamed of. For example my grandmother's living experiences were quite different. I am amazed when she is telling me that she didn't have any pair of shoes, or that she eat meat just for holidays or some big events. I suppose she is surprised by all this modern technology such as mobile phones, computers, even television. Live is so much easier. I don't have to worry will I have warm home when I wake up in morning in winter or will I have something to eat like she did. Nowadays, we have everything – electricity, public transport, good medical service, we use machines to do our jobs and that way we have more free time. Using mobile phones our parents are always in touch with us and shouldn't worry are we in trouble. Furthermore, thanks to human ability people have big range of possibilities. If not in alive, just by clicking on a few buttons on the computer keyboard, we can see the world's biggest wonders. We can visit “black“ Africa or dive into the depth of Atlantic. It is possible to travel through the time and space without leaving your own home. Nowadays, people are flying to the moon as tourists and every day discover now way to entertain themselves.

The other side of coin is not as nice as first. People have done so much damage to the Earth. Firstly, due to industrial and nuclear activities we are faced with deforestation, pollution, global warming and exaggerated natural resource exploitation. We often hear that the forests are the lungs of the Earth. The question is how can human live without its lungs. He can't. It is the

    The Prolonging of The Sacred Balance People may not realize it but instead of helping and protecting the environment, we are destroying it. As the human population increases, it seems like chances of helping the environment is decreasing. David Suzuki, author of "The Sacred Balance," emphasis how humans are more so laid back especially with new advanced technologies coming out every year. He mentions in the book, "We are the most numerous mammalian species on the planet, but unlike all the others, our ecological impact has been greatly amplified by technology.” Making sure that the environment is safe and productive is something that we all should really care about because we don’t know how the environment will look like later on.…

    The article “The Future is Now: It’s Heading Right at Us, But We Never See it Coming” by Joel Achenbach, discusses the issues which humans are facing when it comes to adapting to technology. He makes it clear that technology is advancing at a high speed and there is nothing stopping it, but unfortunately humans are not able to keep up with this process. The issues that are prominent when it comes to the relationship between technology and people, are less about the usage of these new high-tech gadgets, but more about controlling technology. This population is heading towards very controversial new possibilities when it comes to these scientifically advanced products, but topics such as the halting of the aging process, are not discussed thoroughly.…

    We put human wants before thinking how it will badly affect the environment. We cut down forests to build houses to live in, buildings to work in, malls to shop in and many other things. By cutting down those forests, we are cutting down the homes of other species because we need the space to build something we, humans, want. We build factories that let out smog in the air to create product we, humans, want or to earn money off of. We seem to think that human life is entirely separate from nature because we don’t see the effects of what we do that harms…

    The first group of experts believes that human interaction with the planet is in no way harmful. They stand on the grounds that the planet will be able to recover from any exploitation man performs on it. Earth has an automatic system to correct itself from factors that might threaten it. This homeostatic process guarantees its existence regardless of how drastic, harmful, or negative human actions might come to be. It can correct itself through balancing any harmful changes. Earth has “automatic processes to preserve itself from changes” (Moore 45).…

    Today’s society is very different from the society that was here hundreds of years ago. Society changes everyday as things progress. Technology global economy and increase in the world’s population are great factors in the way things change. I do not believe it will affect me much but I do believe it will affect my son, and more for those generations after. As technology advances the more ways we make our lives easier. Not only does it help with our daily routines, but technology also helps in making sure that we can live our lives longer than was possible before. Because technology has advanced it has also made it easy for the world to communicate with each other. For example: a doctor in the U.s is working on a cure but is not able to get the formula just right, and at the same time a doctor in Europe is doing the same thing. Before these two doctors would not have been able to collaborate with each other, but with the technology we have now they are. People now can also have a company anywhere in the world without having to be there. Having the world’s population increase makes it that we have a higher chance to advance as a civilization, but it can also affect us by causing more diseases to spread, harder times getting a job, or a place to live. Now that the world’s population has increased and it’s becoming more global, cultures are now becoming mixed. People are taking what they learn as children and mix it with the way their significant other was taught. People are now seeing that many cultural’s histories are similar. Because cultural are being mixed there is a lot more people who are interested in learning other…

    The world is has never been the same. People living a century ago, can never imagine the world we are living in. Over the last one hundred years we have seen extraordinary changes in technology. We had been on the foul smelling four leg carts and now at the foul smelling gas consuming four wheels. We wished to be like birds flying here and there, now we are visiting planets and isolated areas. We dreamed to go “Around the world in Eighty Days” and now we communicate across the world in seconds. The culture of the people changes accordingly with the devolvement in science and technology. From the literature to living styles, every thing changes shape with the passage of time.…
